Upper estimated price slightly exceeded
In November 2005 Christies in Hong Kong held the auction FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY, which included the work Complementing Imperial Poetry In Small Standard Script Calligraphy by Wang Jie. Here, the upper estimate of HKD 40,000.00 was slightly exceeded - the artwork found a new owner for HKD 42,000.00 (€ 4,595.42). Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Wang Jie achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work An Endless Day in May 2012 with an auction result of HKD 620,000.00 (€ 64,587.51).
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im November 2005 führte Christies in Hong Kong die Auktion FINE CLASSICAL CHINESE PAINTINGS AND CALLIGRAPHY durch, in der auch die Arbeit Complementing Imperial Poetry In Small Standard Script Calligraphy von Wang Jie zur Versteigerung kam. Dabei wurde der obere Schätzpreis von HKD 40.000,00 leicht übertroffen – das Kunstwerk fand für HKD 42.000,00 (€ 4.595,42) einen neuen Besitzer. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Wang Jie erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit An Endless Day im Mai 2012 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 620.000,00 (€ 64.587,51).
